Blake from ‘Workaholics’ is a Pantera fan

This might not be as surprising as St. Vincent’s love for metal, but it’s still pretty cool. This past Wednesday on Comedy Central’s Workaholics, Blake Anderson took some time to (unsuccessfully) educate kids about Pantera and Dimebag Darrell (not to mention chicks in bikinis and weed) in a scene that can be viewed in the short clip above. Then again, if you were a kid and a clown was trying to teach you about Pantera, you’d probably just want to get the hell away from the clown. Still, it’s best to start early when you want kids to appreciate these sorts of things, folks.
